Hi All,

Got out again last night.... call me mad!... my wife does. Anyway took a few more images with the Toucam & X3 barlow. The MN56 is performing well & is a very compact/ portable imaging setup - it does however lack aperture/ focal length for planetary imaging (compared with Chris's setup) - I'm still struggling to image the Cassini division on Saturn..  I like the moon shot - check out the 4 mountains in the middle of the large crater.

Cheers,  John.

Great images John,
one day mate, :wink:  i'll hopefully take photos like this, but until the likes of saturn are higher in the sky and not having to get up at 6am i'll wait and look at these and other images
